Given:

An increase in the period of a wave will increase the speed of the wave as well.

Required: Statement is true or false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the wave is inversely proportional to the time period of the wave


speed\propto\frac{1}{time\text{ period}}

Thus, an increase in the period of a wave will decrease the speed of the wave.

Hence, the statement is false.

Final Answer: The statement is false.
